Meaning & origin
Annaliese first entered U.S. birth records in 1930, but it remained a rarity for decades. The name climbed in popularity throughout the late 20th century, reaching its peak rank of 2,064 in 2005, before entering a gradual decline. Since 2011, its trajectory has been falling, yet it retains a loyal following, especially in the Midwest: Wisconsin, Michigan, and Ohio are its top states. Parents drawn to Germanic double-barreled names or seeking a melodic compound of beloved classics keep Annaliese on the baby name radar, though it remains a distinctive choice rather than a common one.
Annaliese is a compound of the German forms of Anna and Liese. Anna derives from the Hebrew Hannah, meaning 'grace' or 'favor', while Liese is a German short form of Elisabeth, from the Hebrew Elisheva, meaning 'God is my oath'. The name emerged in German-speaking regions in the 19th century as a fashionable double name that later fused into a single given name.
